Hi Matthew,
With today's latest mainline 16f0596fc1d78a1f3ae4628cff962bb297dc908c,
the Xorg works again in Linux VM on Hyper-V, but when I reboot the VM, I
always see a lot of "BUG: Bad page state in process Xorg " warnings (there
are about 60 such warnings) before the VM reboots.

BTW, I happen to have an older Mar-28 mainline kernel (36a14638f7c0654),
which has the same warnings. 

Any idea which change introduced the warnings?
